Lighting control enables occupants and facilities managers to regulate both the quality and quantity of light within a given space. While newer technologies have greatly expanded the offerings available to building designers, there are a number of variables that must be considered, including building codes, energy efficiency of the systems, and impacts to a building’s occupants. This presentation will provide an overview of lighting control options, and how they can be utilized to meet code requirements, enhance a building’s energy performance, and positively impact interior environments.

Attendees will recognize energy efficiency code requirements, including both the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and ASHRAE 90.1, and understand their impacts on a building’s occupants.

Attendees will evaluate appropriate uses of lighting controls, and determine areas where these control systems may have a negative impact on the health, safety, or welfare of a building’s occupants.

Attendees will recognize options to integrate building systems for enhanced control. Integration of fire alarm, security, BMS, and lighting can create a safer and more function environment for occupants.

Presenter: Craig G. Malesic, PMP, LC, EIT. Craig is the former owner of a lighting design and electrical construction firm. He holds the Lighting Certified (LC) designation from the National Council on Qualifications for the Lighting Profession (NCQLP) as well as the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI).
